Explore the rich natural environment of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area with a story book walk for all ages.
Follow the pages of Kate Messner's enchanting book, "Over and Under the Canyon" illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal and see if you too might spot some flora and fauna in the wild. Grab a nature journal to discover the complex ecosystem thriving in our own backyard.
This program is hosted by Friends of Red Rock Canyon and will take place by the Visitor Center, on the Moenkopi Loop for 1/2 a mile out and back. Tables near the entrance of the trail will provide information for the walk as well as a nature journaling activity.
